I had mentioned that I would accept snort into meta-networking if it
wasn't a good fit for meta-security since it was something I'd started
working on integrating anyway a while back. I assumed that was the case
since it was sent to the list for meta-networking today.
I don't think we need copies in both places, though, and since it was
first aimed at meta-security, if it gets merged there, I won't merge it
here.
Hopefully nothing I've said here contradicts what the meta-security
maintainers would want to see.

I would have thought it would go into meta-security myself; but ultimately
it's up to you and Saul really. I just wanted to make sure we didn't somehow
end up with it in both layers since we have patches for adding it to both.
Cheers,
Paul

Yeah, I completely agree. Since I'm using meta-security a bit now and
sending a few patches back, I'll keep an eye out and if the snort stuff
lands in there, I would not consider merging it with meta-networking.
Snort has always been in the same category for me as tcpdump, nmap and
etherape/wireshark. A hugely useful network diagnostics tool. But as
and IDS / IPS it makes sense for meta-security as well.
Either works for me.
